Loosening tie downs for off road TC'ing
In recent thread, a neat video was posted showing our truck camper members leaving their camping area and routing back out to the main roads. Gotta say I just love these "action" videos the members post here.
Of particular interest to me was noting the loosened tie downs visibly flapping on the camper.
I've read others doing this, recalling Jefe4X4 mentioned this in a post.
Is there any particular rule of thumb, so to speak, where a person should do this?
Speed limit while loosened?? Common sense of course, but is there one? (speed limit that is, I'm already past the common sense limit. :B )
Any other factors to be considered when running tie downs loosened for trail purposes???
Thanks!
